“…Com o auxílio do modelo de potencial empreendedor (Krueger & Brazeal, 1994), nota-se que a intensificação de fatores, como a autoeficácia em empreendedorismo, provocada pela EE ou outras atividades de preparação (Wilson, Kickul, & Marlino, 2007), eleva a intenção empreendedora. O conceito de autoeficácia (self-efficacy) é definido como "a crença das pessoas em sua capacidade para produzirem os efeitos desejados por suas próprias ações" (Bandura, 1997, p. vii, tradução nossa).…”

O artigo tem por objetivo identificar formas de se melhorar a educação superior em empreendedorismo, focando o caso dos estudantes brasileiros interessados em ser seus própriospatrões, ou seja, emteremseus própriosnegócios. Eles são aqui chamados de fundadores intencionais. O estudo é um survey complementado por uma breve revisão da literatura. O questionário online foi respondido por 12.604 fundadores intencionais de um amplo espectro de cursos superiores de 37 instituições de ensino superior públicas e privadas brasileiras. Segundo suas respostas, eles têm mais alta demanda por educação em empreendedorismo e mais alta intenção empreendedora do que se vê em outros países. Três hipóteses foram testadas. Os resultados mostram que sua intenção de empreender e seu nível de crença em serem competentes para empreender com sucesso (self-efficacyou autoeficácia, em Português) são indiferentes à variação do quanto fazem de disciplinas e atividades de educação em empreendedorismo (EE) no ensino superior. Por outro lado, há relação significante e positiva entre a intenção empreendedora e a demanda por EE. A elevada demanda dos estudantes parece poder ser aproveitada como facilitadora do necessário aperfeiçoamento da EE no Brasil. As discussões e as conclusões do fim do artigo oferecem recomendações não apenas para a melhoria da educação superior, mas também para a realização de mais pesquisas.

Entrepreneurship and Management in an Islamic Context

The number of female entrepreneurs and their contribution to the economy is steadily rising. Yet research suggests that female entrepreneurs face more challenges and barriers than their male counterparts. This is expected to be even more prevalent in Islamic contexts, which are characterised by conservative and patriarchal societies. In this research, 254 female business students from a private and a public university responded to a questionnaire that gauges their perceptions about potential barriers to entrepreneurship in Jordan and whether the business education they are receiving helps to prepare them for future entrepreneurial activity. Our results help to form a basis on which a deeper understanding of the phenomena can be achieved through more in depth future research. Among the main environmental factors that worry potential female entrepreneurs are the weakness of Jordanian economy, lack of finance, fear of risk, gender inequality and inability to maintain a work and private life balance. Our results also show that students are really not aware of the opportunities available to them and are unable to make a proper assessment. We call on both universities and the Jordanian government to put more emphasis on practical entrepreneurial education and encouraging women to play a much more active role within the workforce.

The novel funding sources turn out to be important for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector all over the world especially after 2007-2008 world financial crisis. Thus, to develop a new business idea and start-ups, SMEs need a sufficient amount of capital. However, after the financial crisis in 2008, SME sector faced the challenges of attracting new capital. Therefore, an innovative method of fundraising for SME was introduced as crowdfunding. Crowdfunding indicates financing a project or an idea via the internet owing the help from the many investors or donors of a society. Since there are limited works about the influence of Crowdfunding on Entrepreneur Self-efficacy (ESE), hence, to minimize the research gap and to achieve the objective of the study, we conduct a quantitative research among 190 entrepreneurs in Bangladesh using crowdfunding based on Social Cognitive theory. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in IBM-SPSS-Amos 25.0 and the stated hypotheses were tested. The study found a direct and positive effect of Crowdfunding on Entrepreneur's Self-efficacy (β=0.924, P=.001). Overall, the result has landed support for crowdfunding, which indicates that it can influence on self-efficacy of entrepreneur. In order to determine the need of crowdfunding, we have explained and statistically demonstrated how crowdfunding can provide a supplementary channel where firms can gain finance and to create self-efficacy of entrepreneurs through exploiting the potential of internet..
